16What might be called Out-of-Character {{Fanservice}}: when a person, usually female, poses for photographs, a {{painting|s}}, or a {{sculpture|s}} scantily clad or even naked.
17
18To avoid being filled with TruthInTelevision examples that number into the several millions, include a lot of celebrities of both genders, go back literally thousands of years, and are the specialty of enough magazines to fill a small newsagent, we are going to limit this to fictional examples. These are cases where a character does it, for whatever reasons.
19
20Another part of this trope is the photographer, who often says things like, "Work it, baby," and, "The camera loves you!"
21
22See also IWasYoungAndNeededTheMoney for when this is part of a character's past. Might be a way of rebelling against ContractualPurity or going for a HotterAndSexier image. That said, if it's a drawing or a painting, then it's much more likely to be [[IntimateArtistry some kind of romantic gesture]] (and very possibly homaging or parodying ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}'').

30[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
31* In an early ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' chapter, Keichii and Belldandy end up modeling for Sayoko's art club. The thing that Keichii considers the worst part of the job is that Belldandy is modeling naked and he can't see anything from his pose. Sayoko's hopes of embarrassing Belldandy with this job is thwarted twice over. First, Belldandy isn't bothered by the request to pose naked in front of a group of total strangers (having little understanding of human social conventions at this point in time). Second, when Sayoko displays the paintings that the various members of the club produced around campus, she finds that for some inexplicable (to her) reason, all of the paintings they produced ended up being of subjects other than Keichii and Belldandy.
32* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': When Haya is tasked with drawing someone, she wants to move on from Ponosuke and have Matsuri model in just panties and a [[HandOrObjectUnderwear hand bra]]. Matsuri declines, [[DelayedReaction but only after posing while completely undressed]]. So Haya ignores Ponosuke's offer to nude model and puts Matsuri in her school uniform.
33-->'''Matsuri:''' ''[[SuddenlyShouting Why do I have to be nude!?]]''\
34'''Haya:''' Doesn't it make the thing feel more legit?
35* ''Manga/BirdyTheMighty'': In her human identity (Non-Senkawa), this is Birdy's way of making ends meet.
36* Although done innocently enough and fully clothed, Rika in ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' is made to pose for a photographer by her mother and ends up running out of the room after becoming upset with the procedure. Given that the photographer (in the English dub) was yelling things like, "Yes! Use that face like you're kissing your boyfriend!" her discomfort is understandable.
37* Completely and utterly inverted in ''Anime/EsperMami'' -- Mami's father is a painter specializing in nude figure painting, and Mami is his favorite subject, something she is not upset by in the least. Her house (and bedroom) are filled with nude paintings of her, something of which she [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl isn't really embarrassed about.]] The main male lead, however, is [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn embarrassed enough for the both of them]]. The trope is played more straight later on when she poses for an artist who isn't her father, however, and feels somewhat uncomfortable about it. Did we mention this is a kids' show, BarbieDollAnatomy, SceneryCensor and NippleAndDimed are all fairly averted, and that Mami is a freshman in high school?
38* Despite being one of the most violently uptight characters in ''Manga/GirlsBravo'', during a photoshoot, Kirie is oddly into it, even to the point where she assists Koyomi in showing cleavage.
39* In ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam'', the main character is having an art lesson where the teacher very unexpectedly drops her clothes and poses with some fruit. This makes sense when you realize several of the teachers and students are covert members of said main character's UnwantedHarem of maids.
40* [[CosplayOtakuGirl Yoshinoya-sensei]] from ''Manga/HidamariSketch'' often dresses up in skimpy outfits when acting as a model for her students.
41* In ''Manga/KaguyaHime'' Akira frequently poses nude for her adopted mother to draw.
42* As with nearly every other form of {{Fanservice}}, the anime ''Manga/MissMachiko'' plays with this trope:
43** One episode showed the school art teacher painting Machiko. It's believed that he is painting her nude at first but we later find out that she was clothed for the session.
44** Another episode had a pervy male teacher make a nude sculpture of Machiko, although she didn't pose for it.
45** In yet another episode, her own students needed to raise money and talked her into stripping down to her underwear to take photos and send them into a magazine. One student tricks her into losing her bra and snaps a few photos of his own, [[OnceAnEpisode which is the sort of thing that happened a lot in that show.]] By the way... [[RunningGag kids' show!]]
46* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'':
47** After an accident in which [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ranma]] destroys Nabiki's concert tickets, he tries everything in his power to make it up to her. Seeing she's still despondent, he goes as far as [[GenderBender turning female]], wearing lingerie, and posing for photographs (Nabiki herself often snaps candid pictures of Ranma's female form, without his knowledge or consent, to sell at school). Ranma himself hates this sort of thing and hates wearing female garments even more. Only after coming out with several ''dozen'' rolls of film does Nabiki's mood begin to improve.
48** Once, when [[TricksterMentor Happōsai]] uses [[PressurePoint moxibustion]] to sap Ranma's strength, the latter retaliates by learning the [[FinishingMove Hiryū Shōten Ha]] technique, which requires the opponent to shed a hot, angry aura. [[ItOnlyWorksOnce Happōsai is wise to this]], though, and refuses to show even the slightest anger. Ranma regroups, changes into a girl, and takes pictures of herself in lingerie -- something Happōsai has always wanted to see -- in order to get the DirtyOldMan to emit an ''even hotter'' aura of lust.
49* Sort of inverted in ''Manga/SchoolRumble'' where rumor goes around that one of the more well-endowed teachers is posing nude for the art teacher to draw. When the gang of school perverts goes to see the art piece, it's so abstract you can't make anything out.
50* In ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'', a young([[KidHero er]]) Lina Inverse once made a tidy profit by magically projecting an image of her older sister, Luna, bathing. Luna's [[NoodleIncident retribution]] is one of the reasons [[PersonOfMassDestruction Lina]] is now TERRIFIED UNTO DEATH by even the slightest mention of said sister.
51* ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'''s oft-{{lampshaded}} MrFanservice Barnaby Brooks Jr. finds himself the subject of a swimsuit photoshoot in the fifteenth episode. [[ButtMonkey Kotetsu]] gets to participate too, though not quite in the same way.
52[[/folder]]
53
54[[folder:Comic Books]]
55* Franchise/DCUniverse:
56** In one ''Comicbook/JusticeLeagueInternational'' storyline, Fire is posing for a topless calendar, which she says is a tasteful artistic work produced by a respectable company. Then she learns it's actually one of Comicbook/BoosterGold's get-rich-quick schemes and torches the negatives.
57** In ''[[ComicBook/TeenTitans The New Titans]]'' #93, Mirage uses her illusion powers to disguise herself as Starfire and pose naked for a men's magazine. Starfire is not amused when she finds out.
58* Franchise/MarvelUniverse:
59** Candid shots of ComicBook/SheHulk sunbathing topless are published in a sleazy men's magazine. She ends up being unable to get the negatives back but achieves a minor victory by wadding up the safe in which they are stored into a metal ball. And, then, the printer "color-corrects" the pictures.
60** ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'': In the "Inferno" storyline, during a sequence where the X-Men are enjoying downtime at the X-Mansion, Psylocke, who never had any romantic relationship with Colossus, poses nude for him to draw her portrait.
61** [[Characters/GenerationX Monet St. Croix]] did some modelling in the past, and wasn't shy about nudity. She posed nude on the cover of Vanity Fair and had another shot where she's topless with her jeans pulled down, exposing her underwear.
62** ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'': Rick Jones is watching an adult film at his StagParty, and is shocked to discover that its female star is his fiancée Marlo.
63[[/folder]]

65[[folder:Comic Strips]]
66* In [[http://joshreads.com/?p=9991 this]] ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey'' strip, General Halftrack, Major Greenbrass, and Captain Scabbard are looking at some [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl topless]] [[WalkingSwimsuitScene beach vacation]] photos of Miss Buxley on Website/{{Facebook}}.
67[[/folder]]
68
69[[folder:Fan Works]]
70* Played for laughs in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12877620/chapters/51794656 Alola! A Shrine Maiden's Adventure]]'', a ''Franchise/TouhouProject''/''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' crossover fic. Mina initially intends to paint Mai Teireida, Satono Nishida, and Lillie [[spoiler:Kirisame]] who are wearing similar clothes -- ones that are extremely strange by the Pokémon World's standards, and that Mai and Satono's master, Okina, practically forced Lillie to wear -- but Lillie refuses right away. Mina then concedes and decides to paint some landscapes instead, but [[TheGadfly Yukari]] suggests that she could paint her... in the nude. Reimu is not amused.
71-->'''Mina:''' Alright. Guess I'll just do another landscape or something.\
72'''Yukari:''' Oh, I'm sure you could paint me. I'll just remove all my clothing and pose like a French--\
73'''Reimu:''' [[ThinkOfTheChildren WE HAVE CHILDREN HERE!]]
74[[/folder]]
75
76[[folder:Film -- Animation]]
77* ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'': While Héctor converses with a tailor he knows in the art studio, Miguel takes a look around the studio. One such artist is depicting a nude model to canvas. When Miguel is caught staring, he is quick to avert his gaze and look somewhere else. This is especially funny since the model (and everyone other than Miguel) is [[{{Calacas}} a skeleton]].
78* In Creator/SatoshiKon's ''Anime/PerfectBlue'', former pop idol Mima Kawagoe poses for a photographer who gradually convinces her to undress. Earlier in the film, she's explicitly warned that he might try to do this, but she falls for it anyway.
79* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'': In ''Anime/AdolescenceOfUtena'', Anthy and Utena end up as partners for an art assignment and have to sketch each other. Anthy persuades the rather shy Utena to disrobe in a scene dripping with [[IntimateArtistry sexual tension]], and when Utena asks Anthy to do the same, we see [[spoiler:she has an enormous hole in her chest]].
80[[/folder]]
81
82[[folder:Film -- Live-Action]]
83* ''Film/EighteenAgain1988'': [[TheProtagonist Jack]], while in [[FreakyFridayFlip his grandson David's body]], attends one of his classes. He finds out it's a figure drawing class when he sees a female model remove her robe for the class, [[DirtyOldMan much to his excitement]]. When the teacher she's Jack's painting of the woman, he compliments it, stating that he sees a bit of a Picasso inspiration in it.
84* Lampshaded in ''Film/AirplaneIITheSequel'', when Ted Stryker is painting a picture with his female model sitting topless, her shoulders draped, next to a vase with flowers. [[spoiler:Stryker is painting the vase.]]
85* ''Film/LaBelleNoiseuse'' features Creator/EmmanuelleBeart's character Marianne posing nude for a painter for four hours. It's not ''quite'' as fanservicey as that sounds since her character is rather reluctant and irritated after being pressured into posing.
86* In ''Film/DiaryOfANudist'', actresses and actors are cast to play the roles of nudists. What this means is exposing themselves, to each other and the public, for the film to be sold. The number of people for each gender posing nude at the resort is a total of near-10.
87* ''Film/LogansRun'' has a deleted scene (the footage was unfortunately lost in the "Great MGM Purge", but some stills remain, and it's in the trailer) where Box has Logan and Jessica pose nude for an ice sculpture.
88* ''Film/TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath'': At Dr. Bonnet's reception, one of the guests is looking for more of Bonnet's sculptures and pulls the cloth off one to reveal a naked bust and torso of Janine Dubois. He comments on how beautiful the model must have been to the woman standing next to him before realising that she '''is''' the model. He hurriedly covers the piece up again.
89* ''Film/{{Paparazzo}}'' (1995). A female action star is dating Nick Berry's character, the eponymous paparazzo, lets him take some naughty photos of her, and is furious when the pictures appear in the tabloids, accusing him of betraying her trust despite his denials. However, it's implied at the end of the film that she sent them to the tabloids herself.
90* In ''Film/Partners1982'', Kerwin and Benson are investigating the murders of male models for a gay magazine. Benson reluctantly models for the magazine in order to act as a decoy.
91* In ''Film/Snapshot1979'', Angela's first modelling job is a topless photo shoot for Bermuda Cool cologne.
92* Maybe the most famous example: Rose posing nude so that Jack can sketch her in ''Film/Titanic1997''. She hands him the Heart of the Ocean necklace and says:
93-->'''Rose:''' Jack, I want you to draw me like one of your French girls. Wearing this.\
94'''Jack:''' All right.\
95'''Rose:''' Wearing ''only'' this.\
96''[Jack chokes]''
97* In ''Film/TheTruthAboutCatsAndDogs'', Creator/UmaThurman's character gets outed as PlayingCyrano when the male character in the whole thing sees her as Miss January.
98* In ''Film/YoungLadyChatterleyII'', Lady Chatterley undertakes a nude public horse ride (''a la'' Lady Godiva) across the estate; recreating an exploit of one of her ancestors as part of a scheme to [[SavingTheOrphanage save the estate]].
99* ''Film/YvesSaintLaurent'': The designer scandalizes the fashion world by posing nude for a perfume ad in the early 1970s. The same event is also portrayed in the rival film ''Film/SaintLaurent''.
100[[/folder]]
101
102[[folder:Literature]]
103* Topaz Mortmain in ''Literature/ICaptureTheCastle'' is an artist model of some renown, prized among painters for her silvery hair, ghostly-white skin, and a complete absence of modesty.
104-->'''Rose:''' There's a picture of you in the Tate with nothing on!\
105'''Topaz:''' It was an experiment in flesh tones!
106%%* Diane in ''Memoirs of a Beatnik''.
107* Literature/PhryneFisher worked as an artist's model in Paris after UsefulNotes/WorldWarI. She has a painting of a naked nymph for which she was the model hanging in her drawing room, to the surprise of some guests.
108* ''Literature/SmallWorldTabithaKingNovel'': One of Dolly's more infamous exploits is a nude portrait she posed for when she was only fifteen and her father was still in office.
109[[/folder]]
110
111[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
112%%* Features in an episode of ''Series/{{Airwolf}}''.
113* One episode of ''Series/AllAmericanGirl1994'' involves a ''sculptor'' offering to create a nude statue of Margaret. [[SelfDeprecation Aware of her less-than-flattering figure]], Margaret even tells him to "forget accurate — make me ''hot''!"
114* In the ''Series/AllInTheFamily'' episode "Gloria Poses in the Nude", Gloria does so for one of Mike's friends, an abstract painter. Mike is fine with it, but Archie thinks the painter just wants to seduce her.
115* ''Series/TheAmazingMrsPritchard'' has the main character's daughter end up on a spread that gets projected onto the side of the Houses of Parliament (in reference to when FHM did the same thing with Gail Porter).
116* An episode of ''Series/BarneyMiller'' has an older woman complaining about "filth" in the window of an art gallery, specifically a nude portrait. When the police basically tell her ItsNotPornItsArt she takes matters into her own hands, throwing black ink on it. Turns out it was a portrait of herself in her younger days; she had posed nude for the artist/her lover, but he had promised her it was private.
117* At least two episodes of ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' revolve around female characters posing for magazines. Basically an(other) excuse for a {{Fanservice}} montage. As if they ever needed one!
118* In a sketch on ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'', Benny becomes a reluctant nude model for a sculptress. He watches her manipulate a piece of clay into a long round tube, feeling embarrassed but proud. Then she decides it's too big and takes off more and more of it, to his even greater embarrassment. Finally, we discover that she's sculpting one of his ears with that particular piece.
119* Kate does this in ''Series/BombGirls''. [[spoiler:This allows her abusive preacher father to find her and crack her SecretIdentity.]]
120* An episode of ''Series/BostonPublic'' has a young one-shot character who was berated for doing so, but they [[BrokenAesop broke their Aesop]] by having this just-say-no speech delivered by Jeri Ryan, the producer-dating MsFanservice of ''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]''.
121* In ''Series/Bread1986'', aspiring model Aveline had some topless shots taken by an unscrupulous photographer who sold them to a men's magazine. One of her brothers buys all of the copies of the magazine at the local newsagent so their mother doesn't see them.
122* In the ''Series/BroadCity'' episode "Wisdom Teeth," Ilana poses nude for Abbi's art class. She keeps trying to talk to Abbi and being shushed by the teacher.
123* The ''Series/{{Columbo}}'' episode "Suitable for Framing" has the lieutenant visiting a painter working with a nude model (despite painting a different subject), to Columbo's embarrassment.
124* In the Taiwanese BL series ''Dark Blue and Moonlight (深藍與月光)'', Hai Qing meets his soon-to-be boyfriend Ping Jun when the latter subs as a nude model for Hai Qing's drawing class.
125* A perennial sitcom plot (going back at least as far as ''Series/TheDickVanDykeShow'') deals with a female regular trying to recover and dispose of a nude portrait from her younger days. Usually {{Hand Wave}}d by the claim that she posed in a swimsuit (or didn't pose at all) and the author worked from his imagination.
126* Following losing her job on Foyle's resignation in ''Series/FoylesWar'', Samantha Stewart ends up working for an artist as a general helper, which ends up with some nude modeling for a piece destined for the National Gallery. This being a crime drama, the artist gets killed. It's embarrassing enough for Sam when the detectives start going through all his sketches to inventory them — she tries to stop them from doing that. Then Foyle shows up and gets an eyeful of one of them. He's relatively unfazed by an image of his former driver in her birthday suit but points out she does have a rather good motive for murder.
127* ''Series/GilmoreGirls'' poked fun at the frequency of this happening in real life when Lorelai allowed Lane's band to practice in her garage only if she promised to "never pose naked on the cover of ''Rolling Stone'' no matter how much trouble your career is in."
128* ''Series/GreenWing'' has Martin Dear modeling for an art class in one episode. You don't see anything during the class, but the finished painting we see shows him in all his glory.
129* In the ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'' episode "If I Had a Hammer", Hercules reluctantly agrees to pose nude for several artists because the profits will go to an orphanage. Leads to hilarity like everybody getting DistractedByTheSexy and Herc gets irritated when he finds one artist only painted his ''head''.
130* A character in the [=ITV1=] comedy-drama ''Series/{{Honest}}'' is an aspiring model and posed for some for her portfolio. She also poses topless for a gossip magazine, but we don't see this. (Ironically, she was the only regular of the right age to do that sort of thing- Amanda Redman being somewhat too old and her sister being too young IC- that we didn't seen topless).
131* On ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', Barney discovers a nude portrait of Marshall that Lily had made and asks her to do one of him. She reluctantly agrees, but does get even with him by [[spoiler:[[BarbieDollAnatomy omitting "little Barney" from the painting]]]].
132* One episode of ''Series/{{Hustle}}'' forces a member of the team to pose nude for painters. And it isn't [[MsFanservice Stacy]]; it's [[CoolOldGuy Albert]].
133* In ''Series/{{Leverage}}'', we discover that an unseen painting by a French master is in fact [[spoiler:a nude of a young Sophie]].
134* On ''Series/LifeGoesOn'', the woman poses for the painting deliberately and, very unusually, it's shown on screen.
135* Done in ''Series/LivingSingle'', when Max poses nude for Regine's boyfriend Keith. Played completely for laughs, including a BetweenMyLegs shot of Max showing the other characters' reactions ("Max, you pierced your belly button!").
136* In the ''Series/LoisAndClark'' episode "The Ides of Metropolis", Jonathan Kent suspects Martha of infidelity. When Clark asks why he would think that, Jonathan reveals Martha went to a young artist and had him make a nude portrait of her. Clark's horrified look is priceless.
137* ''Series/{{Mortified}}'': In "Mother in the Nude", Taylor is struck dumb when she arrives home from school with her friends to find her mother creating a nude sculpture of herself. To make matters worse, her class will attend the public unveiling at Sculpture by the Beach but Taylor's effort to upstage the reveal makes a bigger splash than she intended.
138* ''Series/MurdochMysteries'': In "This One Goes to Eleven", Mrs. Sally Pendrick is being portrayed in an [[RecliningVenus "odalisque" pose]], lying completely naked on a sofa by the pool in her and her husband's residence. Detective Murdoch is quite embarrassed to run into her being painted like that, and more so when she gives him the completed painting. The painting is done in a modern, non-representational style with geometric figures in primary colors (very much a proto-Cubist style). Constable Crabtree believes it's a desert landscape (and the prominent dark triangle represents a pyramid), but Dr. Julia Ogden clearly sees it's "a woman in a rather intimate pose".
139* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' episode "Bikini Wax":
140** A dead petty officer (who was participating in a bikini contest) is discovered to have taken part in a lingerie shoot for a magazine, getting a slap on the wrist for it by the U.S. Navy. When this is discovered, the woman who tells them volunteers to get the magazine for them, only for it to emerge that Tony has all the back issues of said magazine (his PornStash must be considerable, to say the least) anyway.
141** Later in the episode, Tony and Kate go to see the photographer. As they enter the studio, Kate makes the standard feminist "it's demeaning to women" comment. They enter the studio- where three men in speedos are doing a shoot. [[HypocriticalHumor Kate has a big grin on her face]].
142** At the end of the episode, Tony has gone to Panama City for spring break (he may well be 34/35 at this point, but he still acts like the fratboy he once was). Drunk, he gets up from the chair where he's just had booze poured down a funnel into his mouth. He walks over to a wall of pictures marked "Wet T-Shirt Hall of Fame" with SexySoakedShirt stuff. Guess who's the 1994 entry...
143* In ''Series/{{The Outer Limits|1995}}'' episode "Bits of Love", Aiden talks the holographic character Emma into letting him paint her nude. Since she's a computer program, she literally freezes while doing so. The painting is a success, but Emma soon develops an individuality and becomes a WomanScorned when Aiden won't return her feelings...
144* ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'' -- for a city art exhibition, Jerry paints a large picture showing Leslie as a bare-breasted bow-and-arrow wielding centaur (though she didn't pose for it and by Jerry's admission the resemblance was completely subconscious). This trope is averted some as Leslie is delighted with the picture, but a MoralGuardian demands for it to be destroyed -- Tom Haverford shares the sentiment as he's depicted on it as a nude cherub.
145* Spoofed in ''Series/TheSoup'', when Heidi Spencer-Pratt modeled for ''Playboy''. They showed film supposedly of the actual photoshoot (but really a sketch) involving a mannequin modeling in a bikini, being knocked over by the fan blowing her hair in the wind, and the photographer desperately trying to rebuild her but ending up creating a Picasso-esque mess. And then he throws mud on it (as the actual photo showed her covered in mud). Of course, the entire time the photographer is yelling things like 'Oh Heidi, you plastic beauty!'
146* In the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' episode "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy", the holographic Doctor has added the ability to daydream to his program but finds that he is no longer able to control when he is daydreaming or not and is having trouble distinguishing daydreams from reality. B'Elana Torres downloads his daydreams into the holodeck in an attempt to diagnose the problem, and we find that in one of his daydreams the Doctor is an artist painting a naked Seven of Nine.
147* In one episode of ''Series/ThreesCompany'', Jack offers to help a hot art teacher with her work and doesn't realize until it's too late that she wants him to pose nude in front of her students. It gets doubly awkward for him when his landlord Mr. Furley turns out to be one of the students and ''triply'' awkward when he foists off the teacher's drawing of him onto Larry to prevent his roommates from seeing it, only for Larry to donate it to their favorite bar that hangs up the drawing in full view of all the bar patrons.
148* In an episode of ''Series/TV101'' a girl makes her FriendZone friend take a picture of her nude in the boy's locker room for a journalism assignment, in order to be rebellious. The teacher simply notes that it's out of focus, off-center, and the picture is framed such that you can't tell she's in the ''boys'' locker room.
149* It turns out ''not'' to be an example of the trope in the purest sense, but there's a lot of speculation on the part of the characters that it might be: An episode of ''Series/WelcomeBackKotter'' has Epstein paint a mural on the side of the school building. It turns out to be a nude woman with ''Mrs.'' Kotter's face (it goes around a corner, so all the camera ever sees is the face, which is clearly Julie). We also see various characters staring at the other part of the wall and audibly wondering if it's really her (no).
150* A 2009 Creator/{{ITV}} drama, ''Series/WhateverItTakes'', focused on a woman who became a glamor model after her career as a police officer ended after she was caught having sex in a car with a footballer.
151* A ''Series/WKRPInCincinnati'' episode had Jennifer (and Andy) posing in swimsuits for a worthy cause - she later discovers the photographer covertly took nude photos of her in the changing room. Her friends pull a scam to get the film from the guy.
152[[/folder]]
153
154[[folder:Music]]
155* Music/TheJGeilsBand "Centerfold" is about a man who learns that his high-school crush has done this.
156[[/folder]]
157
158[[folder:Pinballs]]
159* In addition to RealLife Playmates, Creator/SternPinball's ''Pinball/{{Playboy|Stern}}'' features illustrations of bikini-clad girls adopting pin-up poses on the playfield.
160* The "Ruiner" table of ''VideoGame/RuinerPinball'' has two pinup girls, "Drop Target" and "Da Bomb".
161[[/folder]]
162
163[[folder:Video Games]]
164* In ''VideoGame/ADanceWithRogues'', you have the option to pose for a nude portrait for extra cash early in the game. It isn't the cleverest of options [[spoiler:since the portrait is then stolen by the Dhorn and you have to retrieve it from a heavily guarded facility to prevent your identity from being realized]].
165* In ''Love & Pies'' Amelia and Joe open a secret stash, only to find a portrait of themselves as Adam and Eve. Extra embarrassment ensues due to Amelia's daughter being in the room at the time.
166* ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth''; the New Kid has to get a passport photo so he can get into Canada and translate some medical records from French to English. The cameraman taking the passport photos keeps asking the New Kid to strip down even further, until the ''real'' cameraman breaks out of the closet and tells the New Kid the other guy is a pedophile posing as a cameraman. After the New Kid beats the fake, the real cameraman takes a picture and sends the New Kid on his way, without asking him to get back in his clothes beforehand.
167[[/folder]]
168
169[[folder:Visual Novels]]
170* In an early scene of ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert'', Kathy sends the protagonist photos of herself with her naughty bits hanging out in different parts of the diner. When the protagonist goes to the place in each photo, she's not there. He eventually finds her in the alley in the back, and Kathy tells him that she took those pictures beforehand.
171* In one scene in ''VisualNovel/{{Melody}}'', the title character takes her top off while the protagonist drives.
172[[/folder]]
173
174[[folder:Webcomics]]
175* Gary in ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' is an aspiring comic artist, and apparently the only way he can draw realistic human bodies is with a nude model. His first model was his roommate Matt, who was a professional underwear model and thus insisted on the lack of clothing. His second model is [[spoiler:new roommate [=DiDi=]]], who was trying to seduce him and got misinterpreted.
176* In ''Webcomic/SexyLosers'', Mike ends up masturbating, just like he does the rest of the time. Someone sitting next to him engages in an extended argument about how he really shouldn't be doing that until:
177-->'''Artist:''' [[SubvertedTrope But that's not even a nude model]]. It's just a bowl of fruit.\
178'''Mike:''' I'm an abstractionist.
179* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2013-08-27 Criminy poses nude]] for Fuchsia's painting. After Fuchsia left {{Satan}}, Criminy encouraged Fuchsia to return to her original hobby of painting.
180* In a ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' filler arc, Torg started a sexy webcam when he switched bodies with Zoe, and Zoe herself continued it after finding out how well it paid. A canon strip revealed this to be AllJustADream, however. Worth noting is that said filler arc was drawn by Phil and Kaja Foglio, the same minds behind ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''.
181* In ''Webcomic/{{SSDD}}'', [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20091009.html one strip]] has in the background a picture of Florence Ambrose, from ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', posing nude with a piece of industrial equipment for a calendar, in a contribution from ''Freefall'''s Mark Stanley to ''SSDD''. Between her fur, her build, and the pose, though, nothing "naughty" is really showing. (The large version can be seen [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff/ssddcal.png here]].)

185* Hayley on ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' models nude, making a big deal on how it's totally not scandalous. Then she has a NakedFreakOut when she sees that Roger is in the class. And then Roger sells his painting to Steve without telling him it's of his sister.
186* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}},'' Jane has drawn nude models in an art class. In one episode bumper (included on the [=DVDs=]), she's supposed to be painting Daria naked, but an unamused Daria refuses to come out. [[LesYay Jane suggests she could just paint it from memory]].
187* In ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' a CutawayGag in "The King is Dead" pokes fun at this trope when Peter joined an art class ("Am I...am I supposed to draw the penis?"), a sculpture class ("Am I...am I supposed to sculpt the penis?"), and an orchestra ("Am I...am I supposed to conduct with my penis?").
188* Tree Hugger from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has a cameo in the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E4OnYourMarks On Your Marks]]" doing nude modeling for painters. Of course, ponies [[OurNudityIsDifferent don't usually wear clothes]], so it's used more as an ironic gag.
189* On ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', Rocko becomes a very famous model/spokesman for an underwear brand called "Wedgie Boy".
190* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' has Marge painting [[FanDisservice a full-length nude of Mr. Burns]] though [[SceneryCensor the relevant bits are constantly covered by random objects.]]
191-->'''Marge:''' My name is Marge Simpson and I painted this. Maybe you'd like to know what possessed me to do it. Well, I guess I wanted to show that, beneath Mr. Burns' fearsome head, with its cruel lips, spiteful tongue, and evil brain, there was a frail, withered body, perhaps not long for this world; as vulnerable and beautiful as any of God's creatures.\
192''[gallery attendants applaud]''\
193'''Dr. Hibbert:''' Hm. Provocative, but... powerful.\
194'''Miss Hoover:''' He's bad, but he'll die. So I like it.
195* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS7E22TheMasterpieceWhelkAttack The Masterpiece]]", Mr. Krabs poses naked so Squidward can paint him in order to compete with another restaurant. [[spoiler:Actually, the statue doesn't get released to the public, so Mr. Krabs becomes the statue instead, this time with his real body.]]
